Registrants will be entered to win prizes including a Google Home Device from Independence at Home, Community Services of SCAN Health Plan, a $25 American Express gift card from Cox Communications, and more. Drawings will take place at each information session; must be present to win.

Seniors are increasingly targeted by scammers looking for financial gain

In recognition of Grandparents Day (September 10, 2023), we’re pleased to invite seniors, caregivers, and neighbors to a series of information sessions. Learn about common elder fraud schemes, the signs and symptoms of elder fraud, and what law enforcement is doing to protect seniors and prosecute scammers. Find out what you can do to prevent falling victim to these scams and report instances of fraud to local law enforcement.

These presentations are made possible by the FBI San Diego Elder Justice Task Force in partnership with the FBI San Diego Citizens Academy Alumni Association and the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation’s Senior Center Coalition.

Learn more about common scams targeting seniors and access resources to help protect yourself at FBISDCAAA.org/ElderFraud.
